This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for
the Dec. 2008 assembly of the zebrafish genome (danRer6, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Zv8 assembly (CAAK00000000.5)).
The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
This assembly was produced by a collaboration between the
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK, the Max Planck Institute
for Developmental Biology in Tuebingen, Germany, the Netherlands Institute
for Developmental Biology (Hubrecht Laboratory), Utrecht, The Netherlands
and Yi Zhou and Leonard Zon from the Children's Hospital in Boston,
Massachusetts..
For more information on the zebrafish genome, see the project website:
http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/D_rerio/
Files included in this directory (updated nightly):
- *.sql files: the MySQL commands used to create the tables
- *.txt.gz files: the database tables in a tab-delimited format
compressed with gzip.
To see descriptions of the tables underlying Genome Browser annotation
tracks, select the table in the Table Browser:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?db=danRer6
and click the "describe table schema" button. There is also a "view
table schema" link on the configuration page for each track.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you plan to download a large file or multiple files from this
directory, we recommend you use ftp rather than downloading the files
via our website. To do so, ftp to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu, then go to
the directory goldenPath/danRer6/database/. To download multiple
files, use the "mget" command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all the files in the directory)
Alternate methods to ftp access.
Using an rsync command to download the entire directory:
rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer6/database/ .
For a single file, e.g. gc5BaseBw.txt.gz
rsync -avzP
rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer6/database/gc5BaseBw.txt.gz .
Or with wget, all files:
wget --timestamping
'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer6/database/*'
With wget, a single file:
wget --timestamping
'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer6/database/gc5BaseBw.txt.gz'
-O gc5BaseBw.txt.gz
Please note that some files contents, such as this example gc5BaseBw.txt.gz,
will point to the data being hosted in another /gbdb/ location, which
refers to ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/
To uncompress the *.txt.gz files:
gunzip <table>.txt.gz
The tables can be loaded directly from the .txt.gz compressed file.
It is not necessary to uncompress them to load into a database,
as shown in the example below.
To load one of the tables directly into your local mirror database,
for example the table chromInfo:
## create table from the sql definition
$ hgsql danRer6 < chromInfo.sql
## load data from the txt.gz file
$ zcat chromInfo.txt.gz | hgsql danRer6 --local-infile=1
-e 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/dev/stdin" INTO TABLE chromInfo;'
All the files and tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
